Double jointed
These joints are slightly movable, and are most abundant in the axial skeleton.
What are amphiarthroses?
I'm the trash man of the cell. I clean up all of the cell debris and garbage left behind. Without me, you've got gaucher disease!
What are lysosomes?
What is Mesenchyme Connective Tissue?
This type of tissue that makes up the reticular layer of our skin.
What is dense irregular connective tissue?
This is the outside covering of the diaphysis, fibrous connective tissue membrane.
What is periosteum?
These are amphiarthrotic joints in which the bones are united by a ligament or a sheet of fibrous tissue. For example, between the radius and the ulna.
What are syndesmoses?
They call me the "bone breaker," meaning that I clear out old bone to make way for the new.
What are osteoclasts?
This tissue is responsible for propelling objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) down a passageway. It is found in the walls of hallow internal organs.
What is smooth muscle tissue?
These are exocrine glands whose secretions are made up of disintegrated cells; eventually "pop" like sebaceous glands.
What are holocrine glands?
This is the type of bone fracture in which the bone moves so that the two broken ends are not lined up straight.
What is a displaced fracture?
The joints defined by an oval articular surface of one bone fitting into a complementary depression in another. Allows for movement side to side & back and forth.
What are condyloid joints?
I am a column-shaped cell found in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, which secretes the main component of mucus.
What are goblet cells?
This tissue is special, and is located mostly in urinary organs. It allows for distention and contraction.
What is transitional epithelial tissue?
This is the least malignant type of skin cancer that arises from the deepest layer of the epidermis.
What is basale cell carcinoma?
These are the fibrous membranes connecting the cranial bones and allow the brain to grow. They convert to bone within 24 months after birth.
What are fontanels?
These joints are made of fibrocartilage and are slightly movable. Resists both tension and compression and act as a shock absorber.
What are symphyses?
I am an epidermal macrophage that helps activate the immune system; I ingest unwanted invaders.
What are Langerhans cells?
This type of tissue cell is responsible for the secretion of mucus, and comes in both ciliated and nonciliated forms.
What is columnar cell shape?
This is the first layer of the epidermis that contains living keratinocytes.
What is stratum granulosum?
These are the small cavities in the bone that house osteocytes.
What are lucunae?
This type of fracture is the result of poor cartilage quality and dying chondrocytes; separation of the top of the long bone from the shaft of the long bone.
Epiphyseal fracture.
We're 3 fraternal triplets; we're all a part of the cytoskeleton, but we all look different and have different functions. What are our names (thiqqest and thinnest)?
What are microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.
This disease results from the defective movement of the cilia found in the epithelium of the respiratory tract, thus leading to recurrent bronchitis and even infertility.
Kartagener's syndrome
This is the skin condition that is due to capillary dilation.
What is Erythema?
This part of the spongey bones houses your red and yellow bone marrow (the good stuff!)
What are trabeculae?
